Sherwin Williams

Antique Red

SW 7587

Antique Red from Sherwin-Williams is a deep, warm red rooted in earthy undertones that give it substantial richness and visual weight. At an LRV of 12, it absorbs most ambient light, lending pronounced depth and presence to any surface it covers. The hex value #9F4442 places it in a dusty, brick-adjacent red range rather than a bright primary.

It works well alongside muted neutrals such as Canvas Tan and Agreeable Gray to temper its warmth, while deeper contrasts like Naval or Billiard Green sharpen its impact. Warm analogous tones like Fiery Brown further extend its earthy palette.
